Except for that whole Russian troop rape and kidnap thing. Or maybe using incendiary weapons on civilian apartment buildings. Or maybe if you just put aside all morals?
The problem is that this generation of Russians are so brainwashed that most of the sane Russians already fled the country. I doubt many left in-country care or even have a moral conscious anymore?
On one hand, Russia is in a food crisis.
"shops in some regions are now selling them individually, for up to 20 Russian rubles (23 cents) an egg, according to the Telegraph. Other basic foods, including bananas, oranges, and tomatoes, have also soared in price over the past year due to massive labor-market shortages, soaring energy costs, and the plunging ruble."

Even the Russian Government's solution to the food crisis, is causing it's own crisis.
"More than one-fifth of the eggs imported from Turkey were found to be infected with the highly contagious H5N1 avian influenza, as well as other dangerous ailments including salmonella and botulism"

You would think this would turn Public opinion against Putin. I believe it will with educated in the cities, but not with the rural population. This video will help explain why.

I believe that Russia is a pressure cooker, with a lid welded on by Putin. The more the pressure builds... well.

I strongly favor diplomatic solutions usually but it is impossible for Ukraine to negotiate with this greedy, amoral war criminal who lies, gas lights, and misrepresents his intentions and actions.
Funny enough, Putin confirms that the Istanbul deal was done and agreed upon, and that BoJo came in and sabotaged the whole deal. So negotiations could have worked, but they are likely off the table now. Not sure what Ukraine could offer now that Russia would actually accept.
Russians do like to repeat the Boris Johnson lie.

Yeah. I would too.
The poor Russian people.
When will Putin end this madness and just admit defeat?
The clock is ticking and time is running out on Putin and his minions. 2024 will be the year Ukraine turns the tide and people will finally understand that Biden is right -- this is a civilizational struggle against tyranny and despotism to make the world safe for Democracy.
